April Greetings!


Finally ~ 
a new month!
WOW….March seemed to last forever.
maybe because it has 31 days?
or perhaps it was so cold & blustery that it seemed to last forever for me…

whichever.
I'm happy to welcome April.

April begins, for me anyway, with a flurry of activity
with the Virginia Rug Fest this coming weekend!

Miss Joan & I will be busy little worker bees these next few days ~
finishing up our goods to bring to the show with us.

the NEW patterns will be printed, folded and bagged
and all of the models for them plus old favorites 
...will be boxed up to travel to the show's set up on friday.

Hoping we see a lot of you there!!
(lets keep our fingers crossed for NO RAIN)

in the meantime, 
Miss Flea has brought me the second cross stitch design model that I'll be offering soon…
here are a few sneak peeks:


gallant spotted-horse

wagon & huge strawberries

a full sneak peek
...a whole bunch of huge strawberries!

and then here is a full sneak peek of the other one...
loverly colors :)

today will bring high temps and sunshine ~
laundry will be hung out to dry and a little cleaning of the gardens will begin.

I may even bake a loaf of fresh bread to cool on the windowsill…..

have a beautiful day my Friends!

* Blessed be *
